Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a break-in period. Loosen laces before wearing and re-tie them for a personalized fit.
Slipping on court
Ensure court is clean and dry. Check that the outsole is free from debris. The TPU Swoosh is designed for stability; ensure laces are tied securely.
Upper material creasing excessively
This can be normal with leather materials. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and allow shoes to rest in their original shape when not in use.
